to coroners. However, it does collect data on the conclusions recorded at inquests.</p><p>

of its mother. They can open an investigation if there is any doubt over whether the
child has lived independently, once they have received a report of a death. They can
also investigate perinatal deaths which occur in the six days following birth. The
Chief Coroner, HHJ Peter Thornton QC, is considering actions to improve consistency
